Because tonnage is something most know about about their HVAC systems vs blower CFM or amperage draw. Also, they are long gone for me to check model numbers and get the exact specs.

"A 10hz range is pretty broad. Even my Harbor freight 3500w can stay within 58-60hz under high loads. When i first got it I tested it by running a 4 ton and 2.5 ton furnace, 5000btu window ac, 3 pc's, two monitors, and 50 inch tv at the same time." Never said Central Air Conditioning.

That is a sweet piece of kit.

Not that hard actually. The gen has two 13A circuits (or legs). *the furnaces I tested were replaced a few years ago so i cant go look up the exact specs. The 4ton pulled about 8A, the 2.5 about 4A 5000BTU window AC (died this year and is gone) pulled about 4A 3 PC's at about 1A each and two...

I pulled out an old manual for an EVGA 600W PC power supply I bought in April of 2016. input voltage spec is 100-240 VAC 50-60hz. That's pretty tolerant of input voltage.

The dealer added the bigger tires. Funny thing is that I didn't even notice them until I had it for a few days. It was late and getting dark and the next morning I took off before sunup on a 500 mile trip. I bought it just to have a truck for when I needed to move things around and for something...

I've got that HF compressor and the one that's a step down; HF 12v 100PSI compressor . I bought the larger one to air up my truck tires as the dealer would rotate them and leave the front tires ten pounds too low. I tested it and for what works out to be a 35x12.5x17 going from 45psi to 55psi...

That and stopping the catalogs. Since then I've only bought a couple of things. I used to read the catalogs and mark things to buy. Now my club membership has expired and i just don't feel the need to renew.

I picked up the new 4.75 gal 18v One+ wet dry vacuum. It's only $59, but has plenty of suction for cleaning a vehicle carpet, it's quiet and light weight...

I have a few of the HF Braun folding stick lights. Sent all the others to the dustbin. High/Low flood and pinpoint setting. When the power goes out I set it on pinpoint and point it at the ceiling and it will light a room enough to walk through without a problem. Magnet is crazy good, I and a...

I don't know about wet blasting but a 1600psi electric works for car washing. Add a $20 foam cannon and you're good. In my case I bought the small Ryobi electric that frequently goes on sale at HD for $99 and a MATCC foam cannon from Amazon. It's small and easily stores on my garage shelving...

I've never used a tractor in my life.... However, I've found the YouTube channel "Tractor time with Tim" informative. His videos are mostly of JD 1000 and 2000 series and the attachments for them but he does look at other brands and has a multipart series of Kubota vs JD subcompact.

Finally had a chance to use the power cleaner. Got a patio umbrella out of storage, been there about fifteen years in one of those plastic outdoor storage sheds. I think it had the right amount of pressure, enough to blast the mud dauber nests off and remove a whole lot of dust on the fabric...

FWIW, I've had a HF 3200w generator for a few years. I put normal ethanol pump gas in it stabilized with StarTron. I run it every two to three weeks for a few minutes with a light load (two 4' fluorescent lights) and sometimes with a 1500 watt heater attached. I've had 18 month old gas in the...
